“…that last amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the centre of all infinity—the boundless daemon-sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin, monotonous whine of accursed flutes; to which detestable pounding and piping dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic ultimate gods, the blind, voiceless, tenebrous, mindless Other Gods whose soul and messenger is the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep.” Lovecraft’s description would put any attempt by me to describe your painting into a dark pit!

In 2008 Barnes & Nobel, Inc., published, H.P. Lovecraft The Complete Fiction, as part of their Leatherbound Classics Series, which introduced a new generation of readers to Lovecraft and for now has kept the works immortalized. I hope this is a tradition that carry’s on – not just with great literary works, but with all the arts.

This is an intricate piece, but still gutsy! I love the use of colour to lift it off the page. not sure about HP, I might leave him with the sauce bottles in the cupboard (cowardice on my part). Wonderful work. fishing has powerful rewards.
